much of the farming happened in the hills at this hilly area in western tennessee. it's the southern part of tennessee and the northern part of alabama . a lot ofhills and a lot of hill people . but people make fun of now as hillbillies lived there. it was a tough way to make a living o. farming, a small farm up in the hills where the soil wasn't very good. and the roads weren't very good. and there was no electricity and there was no healthcare.th people lived in cabins that had big holes in the roof. you read descriptions of the way people live in those days in part of the country and it really is like looking back a couple hundred years. they will wash their clothes and washing pots. they lit a fire in there to heat the water and they had very very poor medication with the rest of the world. so when henry ford and thomas edison decide to go down there and change everybody's life, it wasn't just going into a typical 1920s town. it was like going back to 1780 or 1800 and announcing to the people in an area of the tennessee river drainage area is about the size of e

building and you see industry popping up anywhere they can find some level ground if we have a very hilly city here and specific leaders realize that the window of opportunity was closing that as land was being developed the opportunity to set aside any parkland was quickly disappearing because not only was the land just getting developed gobbled up for different types of uses and once it was developed it was not going to be used for parkland. but also the i they were worried about the cost of the land because that sort of boom time speculation in era meant that the the prices were just going up tremendously fast, and there is only so much that they could raise from voters in park levies or in city funds that would allow them to purchase land and so there was a handful of parks in seattle prior to this era. we had a couple of them had been private parks. this is woodland park, which is now in the wallingford neighborhood finney ridge and it had been a private park in the city purchased it from the estate of guy finney and his wife nelly and the kinnear park there on the left that was dona

"consumer reports" says if you have a hilly lawn or are looking for the mower to do more of the work mowers are great, "consumer reports" says if you have a big yard these gas mowers might be best option for you. this honda model retails for around $400. some of their best ratings across the board, so this one is one you have to crank. >> nothing like cutting grass in high heels. >> love the demonstration. putting the glam back in yard work. >> you have never cut grass in your life. >> i have at home and i'm not good at it. >> thanks, janai. >>> now, it's time to head to gorgeous michigan, the latest stop on our "rise & shine" tour across the country as we bounce back after that tough year. ginger, we know this is a very special homecoming for you. take it away. >> it is, robin, i feel grounded now and michigan, i don't know if you knew this is a native american word, and it means great water, but i don't just think my home state is great, i think it is grand like this grand hotel that boasts the longest porch in all the world. more than 660 feet. gems like this survive on tourism bu

cars and adapting gold rush mining technology in order to create a form of mobility that allowed our hillycity to be developed. cable cars are a symbol of our resilience. they were nearly destroyed in the great quake of 1906, but san franciscans fought hard to bring cable cars back in order to get the city moving again, in order to allow for a recovery that we know about in san francisco. we are ready to recover. cable cars are also a symbol of how much we love the unique qualities of this city. and they fought hard in order to make sure that cable cars, which they have their quirks, they're a kind of antiquated technology, they don't quite work as efficiently as some of our other modes of transportation, but they are loved. and they are a symbol of this extraordinary unique city and its history. we are so glad to be bringing them back and we're glad that mayor breed pressured us to get a little creative. so here's the deal. we re-start the cables and the engines and the powerhouse in mid-july to begin preliminary testing to make sure that things still actually work. we then do operator tr

. >> and i wanted to ask director hillis on the feedback to have the department related to light, airopen space amongst other items and i would add into the open space to think about the relationship between the buildings and our streets and sidewalks. and they are with the san francisco impacts and can effect the real safety concerns for the travellers. and is this something that the department can take on? >> absolutely. what we want to do is talk about scope and expectations. you made a good point about where the confluence of the building code and the planning code and this further requirement and health and safety standards. we get it in a focus that looks like light and air in open space and we have a presentation on calendar to talk about the the rules and spaces. and let us think through the approaching scope in that hearing is if not earlier. and we can come back to you with a scope that can work to address some of the issues. we get the concern and obviously that is kind of grappled with internally as well. >> this is advertised as an informational item, and we couldn't take

in the middle of the city where you have lot more hilly areas, steep areas as well as as a result, you have bunch of areas where there are pressure differentials that occur. we've observed and danish research areas of high pressure tend to have more main breaks. so pressure, seem to be pretty consistent out in the richmond and sunset. there is one particular note i saw it on the maps, the 2019. there are four stars very close together on potrero hills. we had a break that was result of faulty sewer construction underneath the main. the ground collapsed under it and the main broke. that was a major event that occurred at that time. it's a little story with every one. we always trying to find ways to what clues we should follow mostly on these. >> president maxwell: you saying that we should see them in places like nob hill and what's the difference in those areas than potrero hill? >> they are not different. it's not just the hills but it's where we get pressure differentials. potrero is an area where the pressure changes substantially from time to time because of the way that the plumb

ways the challenges and powerful influences remain the same, expanding the activities, working on hilly wind swept landscapes, safe clean beautiful places for the public and securitying bonds to fund the projects which we were able to do this year with as age of prop a. the san francisco health and recovery bond. these words have special meaning this year. san francisco has realized what the men and women of the building trades know. parks are not luxuries or nice to have. they are must haves essential infrastructure. not just mys places with pretty leaves and flowers. they are sanity savers. they are the most equitable and accessible amenity that a city and state can offer its residents. they are important for everyone, but absolutely vital for those in cities and rely on them for access to nature and benefits. each of our award des today has my profound gratitude and deep respect. as we look to the future, a big reason the park system will continue to be accessible and joyous for all is, as i mentioned because san francisco voters passed prop a. this will shape the parks for the next
